Seth has the head of a "Seth" and the body of a man. In many pictures he has red hair, probably to represent chaos. Seth has a curved nose and in most pictures he also has a very long tail.

Seth is the god of many things. He is the god of chaos, as most people know him,and the god of war,deserts, storms, and foreign lands. He is also responsible for storms and cloudy weather and he can make sandstorms in the desert, too. Seth is the son of Re and Nut. His brothers are Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys, but he killed one of his brothers. The brother that he killed is Osiris. After Seth killed his brother he put the parts of his body all over Egypt. Seth isn't always bad though. For example, he protects the sun barge of Re.

If I were to make a temple in honor of Seth I would start out with statues of him to the sides of the giant doors at the entrance. In front of those there would be big pillars holding up the balcony at the top. The whole place would be black and red to represent chaos, pain, and destruction. On the inside, I would have pictures of him causing chaos. Then hieroglyphics describing what that picture is representing. Then in the very back there would be this big statue of Seth watching over the people of the world. Next, you would go up the spiral stair case behind the statue that would lead you to the secret tomb of Osiris. As you walk down the hall you will see statues of all the other Egyptian gods, or at least the main ones, and a description of them beside them. Then at the end you will see the casket of Osiris. Which will represent the murder of Osiris.
